Flowers looks so solid at the plate. He clearly isn't "guessing" or "cheating". He keeps balance, and brings it all at the right time. I have no idea if he will be a league average (or close) defensive catcher - but if he is, that would be very nice to eventually let AJ go and replace him with a low cost alternative that can perform at a decent level.

Even if Flowers can't stick behind the plate, I think he will hit well enough to be an above average first baseman. I have really high hopes for his offensive game.
